?. Differs from that sex of me lula/M as the m(de does. The spots of tiie median 

 band of the forewings are larger than in the male; below, those between the sub- 

 median and second median veins are feebly marked, not altogether absent. On the 

 hindwings, above, the subbasal black* band running from the costal margin across the 

 cell along the lower median nervule is less densely covered with white scales beyond 

 the cell than in mendanii; the cellular white mark is narrower; the exterior one of 

 the po.stcostal spots, and the spots between the subcostal and upper discoidal veins, 

 and between the first and second median branches respectively, are much smaller. 

 There are two minute white .submarginal spots between the costal and upper discoidal 

 veins. Below, the hindwings have five white submarginal spots, and, besides the two 

 red spots before the cell and at the anal angle respectively, some red scales in the 

 cell near the origin of tlie subcostal nervule, and some in the lower median cellule.

Though Linne's description apjilies (o all the various local forms into whicli 

 the present Papilio has developed, there can be no doubt that Prof. Aurivilliiis 

 {I.e.) is right in restricting the name of eurypylus to the Moluccan race. Linnc 

 described in 1758 the species from a specimen contained in the Mus. Lud. Ulr.; 

 Clerck figured in 1764 from the same museiun a specimen wliich belonged certainly 

 to the INIoluccan race according to the figure, and Linne again refers to this figure 

 in 1764 (Mus. Lud. ilr. \,. 216).
